WME Restructures Motion Picture and Promotes Will Ward

WME promoted Will Ward to Head of WME Fashion and consolidated motion picture literary and talent into one Motion Picture division; Romola Ratnam became head of the London office after relocating in 2025.

WME also shifted Rebecca Sanhueza to Pantheon Media Group and expanded Erin Junkin’s remit.

According to WME, the changes seek better coordination and communication among departments that naturally work closely together.

WME framed the changes against a wider business: representing talent and literary clients across film, television, fashion, brand partnerships and emerging entertainment platforms.

The agency said those businesses have become more complex and cross-discipline than ever before.

The announcement reads like an agency directory. The structure is the actual story.

Christian Muirhead, co-chairman of WME Group, said: “These leaders have set the bar for excellence and embody the collaborative spirit that sets WME apart.”

Richard Weitz, WME Group co-chairman, said: “Aligning our teams this way will make us nimbler, sharper and better equipped to spot what’s next for our clients as the industry continues to evolve.”

What changed inside WME?

Under WME’s new structure, motion picture literary and talent form one division led by Andrew Dunlap, Doug Lucterhand and Sarah Self, while Literary Media and Production departments join the expanded department.

WME said Erin Junkin adds television talent to her remit (area of responsibility) while she continues to co-lead the scripted TV department with Tom Wellington.

Under Ward’s promotion, WME assigns him IMG Models, The Wall Group and Art + Commerce. He will also remain leader of the Brand Partnerships division.

WME said Rebecca Sanhueza, the former fashion head, will serve as president of Pantheon Media Group, which focuses on unscripted content. She will continue as a strategic partner for WME Fashion.

WME promoted Romola Ratnam to head its London office, overseeing operations and strategic direction. She also oversees WME Group’s Impact, Inclusion and Advocacy teams.

Coordination is the stated promise. Accountability is the real test.

What experience sits behind the new structure?

WME’s announcement supplied the following career histories and client lists.

• Andrew Dunlap: Joined predecessor Endeavor in 2004 and started in the mail room. His clients include Millie Bobby Brown, John Cena, Kevin Costner, Matt Damon, Colman Domingo, Robert Downey Jr., Adam Driver, Taron Egerton, Tom Holland, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Daniel Kaluuya, Chris Storer, Callum Turner, Will Poulter and Jeremy Allen White.
• Erin Junkin: Joined Endeavor as an intern in 2003 and relocated to New York in 2009. WME lists multihyphenates Quinn Shephard, Nicole Kassell, Brie Larson, Bill Dubuque, Brett Goldstein, Riz Ahmed, Ben Stiller, Julianne Moore and Eliza Clark among her clients.
• Doug Lucterhand: Served as an assistant to Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell during the Endeavor days. WME promoted him to agent in 2005. His clients include Ryan Reynolds, Mark Wahlberg, Adam Sandler, John Cena, Rami Malek, Kevin Hart, Bob Odenkirk and John Mulaney.
• Romola Ratnam: Joined WME parent company Endeavor in 2017 as head of impact and inclusion. She relocated to London in 2025.
• Sarah Self: Came to WME in 2010 and became an agent in 2014. Her clients include Damien Chazelle, Diablo Cody, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jonah Hill, John Krasinski, Jonathan Levine, JT Mollner, Kelly Marcel, Benny Safdie, Josh Safdie, Brandon Sklenar, Emma Stone and Fruit Tree.
• Will Ward: Joined Endeavor in 2005. WME said he was early to see the nexus of entertainment, fashion and beauty for the agency. He has led WME’s Brand Partnerships division since 2015 and works with Prada, Gucci, Dior and Louis Vuitton.
• Ward’s clients: Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Pattinson, Austin Butler, Gal Gadot, Edward Norton, Chloë Sevigny, Tom Brady, John Krasinski, Jeremy Allen White and Javier Bardem.

What must the reshuffle prove?

WME says the departments already work closely together. The new arrangement makes coordination the stated purpose of the reorganization.

That logic matches WME’s view that representing talent and literary clients across film, television, fashion, brand partnerships and emerging entertainment platforms has become more complex and cross-discipline than ever before.

Ward now spans fashion entities, talent clients and brand partnerships. Junkin spans scripted television and television talent. The Motion Picture division brings literary and talent leadership into one structure.

These are not decorative additions to résumés. They make internal speed a client-facing promise.

The overlapping remits will be judged on communication and decision-making. That is a practical test for a structure built around both.

For clients, the proof will come in faster coordination across the connected businesses. WME’s benchmark is its promise to spot what’s next.
